Reading language
The screen, the questions and the judgments read in English where an English reading has been made. The Korean originals are unchanged, and evidence stays in the language it was written in.

Stories to leave in writing, stories to carry on by word of mouth

Reconstruction of the past

The reference date for materials is 1447-01-01. Only the explicit original texts of that time are used as background; the three situational premises and the later branches are fictional. Real outcomes, revised systems, and success cases known later are not used as facts of the initial input. This is a modern retrospective question setup and is not a claim that people of that time made this decision.

The question to decide

The village's stories differ with each teller and each setting. Recording a single version makes it widely read, but other traditions may be treated as the wrong story; including many versions increases the burden of production and reading. Between the power that keeps a story long and the room for it to keep changing, how should we connect the record and the oral telling?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Record one representative version

    It creates a central material to read together, but the meaning of other transmissions may be pushed to the margins.

  2. Option 2

    Record the different versions together

    It leaves the differences between transmissions, but raises production cost and the burden on readers to compare.

  3. Option 3

    Keep the oral setting over fixing a written text

    It keeps room for the story to move and live, but leaves few records when the transmitters disappear.

The situation as it stands

In the reconstructed village, the story changes in its details with each speaker and each occasion. Decision deadline: within 6 months until the first record book is produced.

Reconstruction of the past as of 1447-01-01 · A story passed down orally is fixed into a single written text. A fictional case newly built from the principles of documents of that time. The organizations, people, figures, and events that appear are not real Decision-making records.

  1. Premise 1In the reconstructed village, the story changes in its details with each speaker and each occasion.
  2. Premise 2Making one version into a written text allows wide reading, but other stories may be treated as wrong.
  3. Premise 3Leaving several versions shows the differences, but takes more material and more effort to read.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

A person who read the record book pointed to a different story by an existing oral transmitter as an error.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

A villager who had gone far away made contact, saying that thanks to the record they would restart the transmission.

Can we read the effects of an act of belief without treating a prophecy as fact?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
